Rock festivals are one of the favorite holiday destinations for fans of heavy music. During the warm season, all over the world, young people regularly gather in one place to relax and see their favorite performers live.

Such festivals have long gone beyond the usual music show, turning into a whole subculture. Fans from all over the world come to the most important concerts of the year.

Origin

The first rock festivals began to be held more than fifty years ago. Initially, they were very different from modern ones. Groups unknown to the general public took part in them. But the organization and holding of the festival itself was not controlled by the authorities.

However, ten years later the situation has changed significantly. Rock festivals began to attract more and more young people. Unlimited alcohol was sold during the show. Also, some people brought drugs with them.

The atmosphere of drive caused by heavy music, as well as the state of mass intoxication, often led to disastrous consequences. The heated young people behaved quite aggressively, getting into fights and committing acts of vandalism. Various objects were often thrown at the arriving police.

Unbridled joy

Not a single festival took place without detaining several dozen people and calling an ambulance. Therefore, law enforcement agencies gradually began to take control of rock festivals. But safety is not main reason, which prompted the authorities to take such a step.

Large corporations and enterprising people noticed that festivals attract tens of thousands of people every year. This means a huge opportunity for profit.

The first commercial festivals began to be held. Some company paid royalties to the musicians and dealt with other organizational issues. For this she received a good profit from ticket sales and retail sales on site. After some time, rock festivals in the USA took a very important place in the dream of almost every teenager to attend such an event.

Besides classical festivals There are also charitable ones. They first appeared in the eighties, during the spread of pacifist ideas among young people. The American invasion of Vietnam became a catalyst for radical movements. Concerts began to be organized in support of or to help sick children, and so on. As a rule, the initiator was one rock band. The festival was scheduled several months before the date. During this time, other groups could apply to participate.

Carrying out

Usually the festival lasts several days, usually three. To avoid misunderstandings with the local population and other problems, the show takes place in a desert area, far from the urban agglomeration. Summer rock festivals have high standards security. Organizers are required to provide water to all visitors and have medical personnel.

Performers of similar genres usually perform at a rock festival. For example, at the Hellfest festival there are bands playing in the mosh beatdown hardcore genre. Thus, the event attracts greatest number admirers this direction. Since rock music often carries a social or political context, festivals are often held as a protest against something. So, in 1989, the famous “Musicians for Peace” took place in Moscow, attracting tens of thousands of people.

Possible problems

Those planning to attend such an event should be aware that there are a number of dangers associated with it.

Since the show location is located far outside the city, it is necessary to take as many more water and non-perishable food. There will be shops on site, but the queue for them can stretch for hundreds of meters. Similar problems regularly accompany "Invasion". The rock festival has been held for more than seven years, and during this time many unpleasant situations have occurred. Several times there were problems with water, which could not be delivered on time.

You should wear the most comfortable clothes that will not fall off during active movements. At festivals such as Woodstock, there is often a mosh pit - an element of hardcore dancing, when great amount people are running in a circle, performing chaotic movements with their limbs. If you have never participated in something like this, then it is better to stay away from the circle.

Also, put all valuables in a zippered bag or pockets, as in the frantic pace they may simply fall out. Some festivals allow stage diving - jumping from the stage into the crowd. They are made by both the musicians and those present. The jump is usually not associated with much risk, but most likely you will lose your comrades. Therefore, before the start of the festival, it is better to decide in advance on the meeting place in case of unforeseen situations.
